How are you suppose to be a good mom when you never had one...
All I wanna do is be the best mother possible for my kids but today is one of those days where I just feel like I’m completely failing. I don’t have a mom to call for advice when motherhood is kicking my butt. Or when I have a question. Or just someone there to point me in the right direction.
I keep seeing people saying if you’re child is 2+ years old they should be talking. If not, you “don’t spend enough time with them”
But what if you spend all your time with them and don’t know how to teach them these things? What if they are just developmentally delayed in some areas?
I’m really going through it today & all I wanna do is hide in my bed and cry.
People say things it doesn’t mean it’s true! Some children are more advanced with motor skills than communication and vice versa.
Some children are delayed in some areas and some arnt it doesn’t mean your a shit mum for that it’s no ones fault it’s just that we are all different and have our own paces of growth and development.
Don’t beat yourself up about it once they start talking they don’t stop, don’t be so hard on yourself. You know your child better than anyone! Your the best mum for your kids and you are a good mum because you care! Xx
I don’t have a mom either so I get where your coming from my inbox is always open!
But it’s probably just a delay my oldest didn’t talk till 2.5 and now he don’t stop lol and my 6year old step son has huge speech delays he can talk but it’s very hard to understand him and he has been in speech for 3 years now we work with him everyday and he has speech every day at school
Don't you listen to anybody. Not all kids talk at what people label as the right age. I had a friend whose daughter didn't say a word for the longest time she was 2 years old. She would just stand back and observe everything and everyone one day she took off talking. I knew she could she just didn't want to till one day she decided okay I'll start talking. You are doing a fine job don't let anyone tell you different. My mom passed away 11 years ago so I don't have my mother either. But I'm always here if you have any questions or need advice or just want to chat. 💖
